TERRASEM – the new generation

The new trailed seed drills are now also available with working widths of 8 and 9 metres and can be custom-equipped to handle all site-specific conditions. Thanks to the disc harrow as the leading tillage tool, the TERRASEM seed drills are ideal for mulch drilling and are available with WAVE DISC’s as an option for loosening the soil in strips. The CLASSIC version without tillage tools is impressively smooth running on prepared seedbeds. With their large working widths, high operating speeds are possible with the best positioning accuracy.

Convenient operation without crabbing

A new configuration of all tillage tools ensures that the machine works efficiently and 100 percent in a straight line. The disc harrow as well as the fertiliser coulters (D Z-machine) and DUAL DISC seed coulters are mounted in an X configuration. There is no need to grease the tillage tools because they are mounted on sealed bearings.

Metering with the highest precision

The metering systems are designed for the highest possible precision and ensure that exactly the right amount of any given seed type is used. The TERRASEM V 8000 D and TERRASEM V 9000 D are equipped with two metering systems as standard and have a seed hopper capacity of 5,600 litres. Seeding rates of 1.5 kg to 420 kg at 12 kph are possible. The seed flow rate can easily be adjusted on these machines without leaving the tractor seat.

Multiple sowing options

Single shoot, double shoot and double shoot-mix are the key to perfect emergence. Optimised to specific conditions and crop rotations, it is possible to vary between the application of

• seed,
• seed with fertiliser,
• two different mixtures of seed,
• additional components such as microgranules or a companion crop

using the TERRASEM Z models with FERTILIZER feature.

PÖTTINGER also proves its expertise in the digitisation with the new TERRASEM models by making them agrirouter-compatible.

AGCO named Gunnison Cattlemen’s Days, Burke Stampede, Prescott Frontier Days, Pendleton Round-Up, and Reno Rodeo Committees it’s 2021 Sowing Good Deeds finalists. The annual contest recognizes Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) rodeo committees who go above and beyond in their charitable endeavors, making positive impacts in their local ag communities. AGCO will announce the winning committee at the 2021 PRCA Awards Banquet on December 1, during the PRCA Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (WNFR) in Las Vegas. The overall winner receives a Massey Ferguson tractor valued at over $60,000.

“Rodeos are an important part of the fabric of America, supporting not only revenue-generating competitions but local ag organizations like FFA and 4-H that represent the future of our industry. Sowing Good Deeds shines a spotlight on the generosity and services provided by rodeo committees across the United States. AGCO is proud to recognize these unsung heroes who selflessly give their time and talents to make our ag communities stronger,”

said Matt LeCroy, director, marketing hay and forage for Massey Ferguson North America.

AGCO, a proud sponsor of the PRCA through its Hesston by Massey Ferguson and Massey Ferguson brands, implemented the Sowing Good Deeds contest five years ago. This year’s finalists represent the best of what the PRCA stands for – community impact, innovation, and their ability to overcome adversity.

“These committees have worked tirelessly to improve their local communities. They embody the spirit of entrepreneurship that defines American agriculture. They have initiated change or responded to challenges to help unite their communities during an unprecedented time. It’s an honor to assist their efforts with equipment for year-round success,”

LeCroy said.
